As gospel music styled secular singer, Yinka Ayefele arrived the country Tuesday, following a six-week musical tour of the United States, there appeared to be a ‘dent’ on the emotion of the artiste, whose fulfilment of the concert was partially shattered by the disappearance of three of his band boys.
The other members of the group arrived amidst cheers by fans, but one could tell that the leader of the band was worried; perhaps knowing the credibility question the defection by the boys could pose to his career. Reports say the ‘gospel tungba’ crooner, has written to the United States Homeland Security to track and deport the three guys who defected at the tail-end of the inter city concert.
The band left the country on September 2, performing at Washington, Maryland, Baltimore, New York, Atlanta, Houston and Dallas.
In a mail sent to the US agency, Ayefele urged the department to look for the defectors and act accordingly, so as to serve as a lesson to others.
The defectors, according to a release signed by his publicist, David Ajiboye, include Ojoyido Adegbenga Ezekiel (Keyboardist), Solomon Olugbenga Motimoke (Vocalist) and Olusola Kayode Isaac (vocalist).
“While Olusola Kayode Isaac defected at the LaGuardiala Airport, New York on Monday, 14th October on his way from Houston with three other members of the band, Ojoyido Adegbenga was said to have disappeared from the group at the Howard Johnson Inn on Rockaway Boulevard, New York on Tuesday, 15th October. The third man was Solomon Motimoke (Yatty), who left the band while still at Washington DC on 11th October,” the statement read.
I believe they left for good but it should be after the concert so as to not to put the career of ayefele at stake well am so sorry things happen if not for good but for bad

ReplyDeleteWhen visa application is denied by the Embassy ,no reason to cry blue murder.
ReplyDeleteVery sad indeed
to stay in abroad without the proper documentation is like waiting in vain, slavery for that matter..they would have done that several years back when the issue of security was nothing to talk about. Let them run away, when hunger wire them they will return home and beg for their role back with the band, they should go and ask those that did similar thing with king sunny ade, they are all over begging for food.
ReplyDeleteGood,
ReplyDeleteHow many defectors have been returned to Nigeria? Ask Femi Kuti,
Pasuma, Kwam 1etc. The guys will add value to America as they are already playing with new bands. If the table is turned Ayefele will do same even with half legs.
BabaPupa!!!

Everything in life has time and when the time comes it needs to be grabbed. Nobody has ever prayed to serve his master till the end of his life. These guys might have their reasons and plans for staying back because i believe that it's not their first time of traveling with him. Ayefele, another set of people that are better than them will join you soon.
